Chapter 3181: Exciting Evening Slot

【Aura Emission lv. 32 (Active)】

Skill Effect (Active): Release one's own aura, dealing 1950 points of blood and qi damage that ignores defense to all enemies within 260 meters (increased by 750 points), and causing the enemy's stamina consumption rate to increase by 29% (increased by 9%), lasting 30 minutes.

Tip: During the period when the enemy's stamina is rapidly depleted, the enemy's physical defense will decrease by 1 point per second, until reduced by more than 55%.

Tip: This physical defense reduction has priority.

Tip: This is a no-judgment ability, and can only be resisted through aura resistance.

Skill Effect (Passive): Current aura intensity is 32 points. If an enemy is affected by the blood and qi, they will undergo a willpower check. If the check fails, the enemy will experience fear, timidity, panicked fleeing, and other secondary control effects (secondary control). If the enemy's willpower is too weak, they may fall into a deep coma state (strong control).

Tip: The enhancement of this ability will greatly amplify the talent ability · Blood Beast.

……

Every time blood and qi is increased, it brings joy, and this time is no exception. A single increase of 16 levels translates to saving at least nearly ten thousand soul coins, saving money while significantly boosting strength—this feeling brings comfort from inside out.

The only drawback is the loss of charm attribute. For Su Xiao, this is not a problem; even if his charm attribute has reached -10 points, causing the 【Exemption Badge】 to fail, it is still not a problem—he can simply endure the charm penalty.

Among the people Su Xiao has contacted in the mission world, four out of ten are unaffected by charm attribute in negotiations, just like Kinsley, who has brainwashed the Son of the World into being his own son. In negotiations, charm attribute has negligible influence on them.

Of course, this does not mean charm attribute is useless. Summoning systems and some assassination systems, for example, can directly boost combat power through charm attribute.

Su Xiao stretched his neck and walked toward the outside of the Skill Upgrade Hall. Along the way, mid- to high-ranking contractors he encountered were fine, but low-ranking ones simply detoured around him. The bunny girls responsible for guiding newcomers in using the Skill Hall facilities were still enthusiastic when he arrived, but when he left, these 'little bunnies' hid far away—except for one rather dull-witted donkey-eared girl, who was still teaching newcomers how to use the hall's facilities.

Remaining stay time was limited, and Su Xiao still had something to do. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the training ground and took out 【Tree Bud】 from his storage space.

【Tip: Consume this item to open the Realm of All Beings · Seventh Layer?】

Su Xiao chose to open it, and in the next instant, the 【Tree Bud】 in his hand disappeared.

【The Realm of All Beings · Seventh Layer has been opened, this is the highest layer of the Realm of All Beings.】

【Usage Fee: 100 soul coins per hour.】

【Enter the Realm of All Beings Seventh Layer?】

After paying 100 soul coins, the teleportation array beneath Su Xiao's feet lit up. In an instant, he arrived on a body of water as smooth as a mirror. Stepping on it felt like stepping on a rock surface.

Besides the water surface, there was nothing around. Su Xiao half-crouched on the ground, placed one hand on the water surface, and after slight perception, he was dumbfounded—these were actually pure soul energy beneath his feet.

He drew the long sword at his waist. Although Slashing Dragon Flash cannot be used in combat, developing sword techniques during training is fine, as long as weapon-on-weapon clashes are avoided.

As Su Xiao drew his sword, the soul energy around him surged, forming a figure identical to him in height and attire. This figure was somewhat translucent, with a blurred face.

Su Xiao tried to swing his sword, and the translucent figure also swung its sword. A strange sensation arose—he felt as if he had swung two swords. The translucent figure, formed from pure soul energy, was now connected to his own soul, like a soul clone.

Su Xiao continued trying, creating more soul clones. Without extensive testing, he discovered that soul clones could number from 1 to 1000—meaning a onefold to thousandfold increase in cultivation efficiency. Any more, and his body could not withstand it, though his soul posed no problem.

Su Xiao issued a command, manifesting 1000 soul clones. Sure enough, numerous soul clones appeared in the Realm of All Beings · Seventh Layer. Su Xiao swung his Blade of the Blue Ghost, and all he saw were blue ghosts.

Intense fatigue spread throughout his body, especially his right arm, which felt sore, swollen, and numb—as if he had slashed thousands of times with the Blue Ghost, each time slightly different. This led to various insights and reflections flooding his mind.

The 'Swordsmanship Potential Rank +9' brought by the Sword's Sublimation began to take great effect, and the 【Origin Stone · World】 also amplified training efficiency.

A warm sensation spread across Su Xiao's entire body. His stamina was recovering, and his right arm no longer felt sore—this is the dominance of the Realm of All Beings · Seventh Layer: as long as one's spirit does not retreat, training can continue indefinitely.

Su Xiao never believed he had swordsmanship talent, so he improved his cultivation efficiency through various methods. Now, the results are outstanding.

Twelve hours later, in the real world, second floor of the accessory shop.

Su Xiao lay on his single bed, not wanting to move a single finger. His stamina was completely drained. Although the Realm of All Beings · Seventh Layer can restore stamina, from a certain perspective, it is not necessarily a good thing—once Su Xiao immerses himself, by the time he feels tired, his body has already endured immense strain.

【Tip: Within the Hunter's jurisdiction, three contractors are currently engaged in battle……】

Su Xiao checked the details: it was one second-rank contractor and two third-rank contractors fighting chaotically. Ignoring it—such contractors would be handled by the Janitors.

Compared to this, extending the stay time in the real world is more important. Slashing Dragon Flash still needs at least five more days to complete its transformation. To be safe, Su Xiao decided to stay in the real world for six days this time.

Su Xiao consumed the lv. 1 Brand Extra Permission, exchanging it for three days of stay time. Added to the original limit, it was sufficient.

Peaceful real-world life began. For the first two days, Su Xiao's muscles were sore all over. By the third day, he had largely recovered, and by the third night, he was fully recovered.

Streetlights illuminated the street brightly. At the end of the road was a dead end, with vast patches of weeds and few vehicles passing by. A group was dancing 'Heavy Metal Health Punk,' commonly known as square dancing, sweating profusely on the street.

Calculating, since summer began, this was already the fourth batch of 'senior dance troupes.' The first three batches had been driven away by the Janitors and dared not return, but this fourth batch sprang up like chives after rain, growing vigorously. Su Xiao couldn't help but wonder: if two 'senior dance troupes' happened to meet, would they clash over territory?

Su Xiao decided to ignore the senior dance troupe on the street. This was the most civilized batch—arriving and leaving punctually every night from 6 to 8 PM. Dispersing this batch would likely still leave another batch behind.

Glancing at the date on his phone, the day after tomorrow was Haidong's memorial day.

Feeling somewhat drowsy, Su Xiao went upstairs to sleep. His life was very plain, and in the mission world, he had already experienced enough excitement.

The next day, at 6 PM in the evening, the sky was dimly lit. Mosquitoes and various insects were active, flying under the streetlights. Tonight's street was not peaceful. Originally stationed here, the 'Xijie Senior Dance Troupe' encountered a 'strong rival'—the 'Chemical Industry Senior Dance Troupe.' The conflict arose from territorial disputes, compounded by differing music choices.

Su Xiao sat on the sofa inside the accessory shop, his view excellent—ideal for spectating. He found the street scene merely interesting.

The conflict began with covert rivalry, then turned to mutual insults. Finally, a particularly formidable pearl-necklace auntie led the charge, igniting the battle between the two sides. Meanwhile, a similarly brave long-faced auntie on the opposite side stepped forward to meet the pearl-necklace auntie, shielding the sound system behind her with her body—her aura was so fierce it seemed she only needed to shout, 'People here, tower stands!'

Bubu Wang used his dog paws to hold his phone, recording the scene and uploading it to the short-video platform. Worth mentioning: Bubu Wang's account on this platform has 300,000 followers, and he usually records his own short videos.

The street chaos didn't last long—both groups eventually merged into a new dance troupe: the Sunset Red Dance Troupe. Internal relationships were complex, and it was unknown whether they would face new opponents. This was more entertaining than any consecutive drama.

The next morning, Su Xiao went out, returned to the accessory shop in the afternoon—he was going to memorialize Haidong. After completing this, aside from the nightly 'street drama' from 6 to 8 PM, Su Xiao mostly spent his time solving puzzle games. Unconsciously, his stay time reached its limit.

【Tip: The Hunter is about to enter a new world. This world is extremely special. Before entering, you must complete a full-attribute judgment. If the comprehensive judgment fails, you cannot enter this world.】

【Tip: Within this world, participants from multiple factions are involved, including those from the Arcane Eternal Star, Devil Race, Demon Race, Fallen Star, Initiation Paradise, Winged Race, Holy Light Paradise……】
